I have been searching the web for an assembler code that can list the members from a PDS and/or PDSE. I prefer a single code that can do both. I am only interested in the member names only. I am on a Z/OS platform.

Why don't you want to use the standard tools for doing this, like ISPF LMMLIST?

MikeMara,

If you want a simple solution:

1.Go to ISPF 3.4
2.Enter the PDS name and hit enter
3.You will see the list of members in the PDS and just type SAVE LIST on the command Prompt.
4.You will find the list of members in the PDS saved in a dataset USERID.LIST.MEMBERS.

Thanks for the update! I never used LMMLIST, but I finally got it to work. I still prefer a program, but this will do OK.

You can use LMMLIST in programs (COBOL, Assembler, PL/I, C etc.).

I've used it in COBOL and it's working perfectly.

ofer71,

Can you share sample code for a COBOL program making use of LMMLIST ?

MikeMara,

the directory of pds / pdse is documentet.

Upgrade:

The relevant userguide with explaination of the pds directory structure is:

DFSMS Using Data Sets
SC26-7410-07

The hint in my post of 2006 isn't valid.

regards,
bauer
